I enjoyed this beer. It doesn’t whack you over the head, it’s just a good enjoyable session beer. Ever since I stopped rating beers for the most part, I can just sit back and enjoy something that’s not 12% ABV and was aged in a barrel inside a cave for twenty years. This is a perfectly fine brew, even if it was made by a giant conglomerate.

Bottle label says "brew number 038," whatever that means - Clear medium-copper pour - minimal head that dissipates quickly - slightly grassy noble hops in the nose, but the aroma is mostly moderate caramel sweetness - seems like some subtle vienna and/or munich malt character - medium bodied for such a light beer - the flavor is a fairly nice balance of crisp noble hops and sweet, toasty malts - the finish is mostly lingering toasted grains and moderate sweetness - more like a vienna than a "premium lager" - much better than I expected.

12 oz. bottle from friend in Colorado. Pours decent gold with nice white head. Aroma of malt. Tastes a touch sweet with just a bit of hops. Think this version not as good as the previous one. Decent lager.

12oz bottle (Old Notes)-Pours a medium golden with a decent white head. Aroma of grains and malt. Taste of the same. This light to medium bodied brew when I had was a premium brew to compete against Michelob and was not too shabby.
